RENO FIRE HIS HUMAN CAUSED

 

PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF RENO

By: Derek Varsalona

Readers beware.  The people of Reno are now going through a living hell and an inferno, literally.  An out-of-control fire is literally burning down the city.  Fire fighters are hard to reach the burning areas.  AS of now 42, 000 residents are ordered to leave Reno.

This out-of-control fire is caused by some nut job decided to light a match or put out a cigarette.  I think the option is both cases.  This is a result of climate change in the area.  Climate Change is literally killing us every day of the year, and this Reno fire proves it.

President Trump must go visit the area, not for the fact that he needs to see if his Reno Casino is safe.  It probably isn't.  As always, comments accepted.

PRESIDENT TRUMP IMPOSES TARIFFS ON CANADA

TRUMP HITS CANADA WITH TARIFFS

By: Derek Varsalona

I applaud President Trump for hitting Canada with tariffs.  For too long, America has been getting screwed by the rest of the world.  That ends today, thank god for President Trump.

President Trump has claimed that the Canadians have taken advantage of American farmers.  That is so true.  Slavery has ended in America and Canada, and that is a good thing.  But American farmers should not be beholden to Canada.  It is time for Canada to pay the piper.

The Canadian tariffs start on September 8, 2026.  It is time we have a President stand up for American interests and not be beholden to the rest of the world.  As always, comments accepted.

President Trump is right to impose tariffs

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS RIGHT TO IMPOSE TARIFFS ON CANADA

    SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TARIFFS ON CANADA

By: Derek Varsalona

To citizens of the United States and the rest of the world.  Life under President Trump's regime is going to get even more expensive.  A tariff is nothing other than a tax on the American public and the general public of the rest of the world.  As of right now, life is going to get more expensive with a 5% tariff on all products traded between the United States and Canada.  The main driver of the tariff is the tax on hockey sticks to Canada.

I do support these tariffs on the Canadians.  The 5% tariff on hockey sticks is needed to stop our trade imbalance in the world.  If the professional hockey teams in Canada want to start a fight on center ice, that is fine with me.  Just to let you know, with the guns out and blazing, blood will be drawn from a sucker punch,h and in the end the Canadians will not have a skate to stand on. As always, comments accepted.

TRUMP'S SANCTIONS ON IRAN WILL ONLY HURT THE POOR IRANIANS

  SANCTIONS WILL NOT WORK ON IRAN

By: Derek Varsalona

President Trump is going to deliver the toughest sanctions in world history on Iran today.  These sanctions will not work in the long run, and they will not cripple the Iranian government, nor will they stop them from building a nuclear weapon.

President Trump is set to deliver the toughest sanctions on Iran this morning.  These sanctions are going to have a reverse reaction.  It is going to hurt the general public from getting much needed food, water, and medicine from entering the nation of Iran.  

These sanctions are not going to hurt or topple the regime.  There are only two ways to topple the regime.  The first way is for an outright assassination against the leaders of Iran, both religious,s taking out the Ayatollah, and taking out the political leaders of Iran.  Sanctions are only going to stop much-needed food, water, and supplies from getting to the people that need it most.  Take out the leadership of Iran by physical force, not sanctions.

US NATIONAL DEBT PASSES $ 4O TRILLION

 NATIONAL DEBT IS $ 40 TRILLION

By: Derek Varsalona

The national debt is now 40 trillion dollars, according to economic estimates.  Do not look for that to be paid down any time soon.  Both sides of the government- Democrats and Republicans- love to increase their spending.  Republicans on endless wars and Democrats on endless social programs that must be reformed.

The national debt is a staggering $40 trillion. Something needs to be done to make the programs solvent.  The programs that are the biggest liability are Social Security and Medicare.  The way to cure that is the fact that we need to raise the retirement age to 70 in order to keep these programs afloat.  The fact is, when these programs were made,e they did not expect people to be living that long.  FDR was the one who ushered in the era of big government, with many social programs after the Great Depression.  

Social Security and Medicare are the biggest drivers of the national debt.  There is no way to solve this national debt crisis.  We are too far gone down the rabbit hole to cure it.  The way to save money is to enact Medicare for All to save money over time.  But if Medicare for All is truly for all, then the President of the United States and Congress, along with all government officials, must go on it.  As for saving Social Security, which is a socialized pension that people pay into, you need to stop giving it to illegal immigrants and raise the retirement age to 70.  As always, comments accepted.

TRUMP'S THREE DAY TARIFF PAUSE ON CANADA DOES NOTHING

 TRUMP'S PAUSE FALLS SHORT FOR AMERICA  

By: Derek Varsalona  

This morning, President Trump announced a temporary 50% pause on Canadian goods for America, but this measure does nothing to benefit our nation. A mere three-day pause is insufficient to create any tangible impact. It will expire before anyone truly feels the consequences of such a decision.

This temporary halt on tariffs is not only ineffective but also dismissive of both Americans and Canadians. I propose a substantial three-year pause, which would facilitate real progress; however, President Trump, known as the "dealmaker in chief," has opted for an underwhelming solution. I also find myself wondering how this pause will affect trades between professional sports franchises. As always, I welcome your thoughts on this matter.

PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL BOMB OMAN

     TRUMP LOOKS FOR WIDER WAR WITH OMAN

                        By: Derek Varsalona

President Trump is going to lead to another bout of inflation if he does decide to bomb Oman in the widening of the war with Iran.  President Trump claimed that he is going to bomb the shit out of Oman if they get in the way.

As of right now, President Trump is not acting like a world leader but a bully.  The only reason why President Trump wants to bomb Oman is to take control of their oil supply.   As of right now, and probably for the entirety, Oman has a large supply of crude oil as the main driver of their economy.  Look for oil prices to go up in the near future if President Trump does bomb Oman.  I do think that President Trump will bomb Oman over this weekend sometime between Friday and  Sunday. 

As of right now, Iran controls the Straights of Hormuz.  This is going to increase oil prices.  The best way as of right now to bring inflation down is to drill for our own oil, stop relying on foreign oil, and not bomb Oman.  As always,s comments accepted.
